ABSTRACT
Indigenous people around the world still subsist on much of what they can grow. Their practices and agricultural traditions maintain crucial legacies on the landscapes that they manage. Thousands of varieties of unique vegetables, fruits, and livestock depend on the indigenous farmers that continue to husband them. Many of these crops, such as corn, would revert to their pre-human state within a few years if not for human manipulations that maintain their present forms. These varieties of plants and animals retain our human legacy and our contribution to diversity so long as we maintain our relationship to the landscapes where we live.
